Quick Care Checklist
Clean regularly
Monthly cleaning keeps dirt from setting in.

Soft brush, microfiber cloth, mild soap.
Dry naturally
Never use direct heat — air dry only.

Cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Protect with spray
Optional water and stain repellent.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
Remove laces & insoles
Remove laces and removable insoles. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions; do not soak glued-in insoles.
Brush off dry dirt
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Never apply water to caked-on mud first.
Create cleaning solution
Mix a small amount of mild soap or sneaker cleaner with lukewarm water in a bowl.
Scrub gently
Dip the brush in the solution and scrub in gentle circular motions. Focus on stained areas.
Wipe with damp cloth
Use a microfiber cloth dampened with clean water to wipe away all soap residue.
Air dry naturally
Stuff with clean, unprinted paper to maintain shape and absorb moisture. Let dry for 24–48 hours away from direct heat.
Reassemble
Once fully dry, reinsert clean insoles and laces. Your sneakers are ready to wear.
